Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to Lee Mount Academy. I am delighted to be able to take up the role of Headteacher.
Our academy is a vibrant, diverse and welcoming community, which we want to be an outstanding place to learn but also work – where hearts and minds connect. The children of Lee Mount Academy and the whole Lee Mount community deserve the absolute best and I will do everything in my power to deliver that. I want to help create a school, working closely with our amazing staff team and other community leaders, that your children are desperate to attend – a place they feel safe and happy, excited and enthralled. A school they can proudly call their own! I am passionate about giving children opportunities to succeed in not just the core subjects but more widely; drama, music, art and sport for example. We are a “CAN DO” school. Our aim is to build Confidence, have high Aspirations, Nurture each other, Develop knowledge & skills and provide Opportunities.
As educators building an exciting, creative and meaningful curriculum, which equips learners for all stages of their education and beyond, is central to our vision here at Lee Mount. We believe that children should be skilled, confident and articulate as they leave the academy. We teach this through insisting on the ‘4R’s’ (Respect, Resilience, Responsibility and Reflection) in all that we do.
Best Wishes
Mr Normington
